The Epic Crater - King Sue

It has been a regular but limited release with distro. But if I were you, I'd wait for the 200 barrel batch currently in a tank at Brew Hub to be bottled and sent up to market. They will be flooded Psuedo Sue. FYI that is more Psuedo in 1 batch then TG has made combined. Ever.

It will be in 4-packs of 12 ounce cans soon, too.

 

Good Morning was trading for huge whalez, bro when it first came out. Now, that it comes out every 8-10 weeks it's been more of a limited release type situaish. Which is exactly where it should be.

 

Doesnt this basically happen to every hot IPA?

IPAs are the stable of most operations and the beer style that pays the bills. Most breweries want to make as much IPA as they can possibly sell. So a hot IPA is almost always going to get made more often, bottled more, distributed more. The ultimate goal of every IPA is to become $4$ shelf beer. At least from the breweries perspective. Trading whalz bruh for hot new IPAs is just about ticking and hype because if the beer is that good it will be $4$ shelf beer in a year or so.

 

@mythaeus - What have you heard about another Grrrz release this year? I figured there would just be another one in about a year, but looks like I might be wrong.

 

I heard from people who attended from the event that there are 9 Grrrz variants on top of the base. I also heard that at least Plum, Melange, and base will probably be up next for a release around Sept-Oct timeframe. I don't know how reliable the information is, but if @Avalon68 wants to chime in an dispel rumors since he seems to have intimate knowledge of what Bullfrog is up to, I'd love to know for sure!

The flip side of greed is brewery greed. IMHO Bullfrog is pumping these out too quickly and either compromising on quality or releasing before they're ready. I'm one of the folks that feels drinking these before 6 months or, even better, a year go by is a bad idea. But it seems like the folks at Bullfrog are intent on releasing variants at a rapid pace and not really thinking about if they're ready or if they're prepared to handle the events. I think the latter part of that statement remains to be seen - we'll see how prepared they are to make it a great event after the next release. But it they don't have a plan for dealing with crowds, lines, multiple POS, a more worthy tap list, etc, then boo to them.
